The U.S.-flag Nantucket Clipper measures
207 feet long, 37 feet wide, and has a draft of eight feet, making
it ideally suited for cruising shallow waterways.
Built in 1984 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, by American craftsmen, the Nantucket Clipper's power
is provided by two Detroit diesel propulsion engines rated approximately 500 SHP each, and
maneuverability is increased by a 200 HP bowthruster.
The Nantucket Clipper is classified +A1 Passenger Vessels +AMS by the American Bureau of
Shipping, and is certified for coastwise and international service by the U.S. Coast Guard.
